Feed Dogs Quilting
Why am I breaking my sewing machine needles?
I have a new Juki TL98Q on a gracie frame with a gracie stitch regulator. I have just put everything together and every time I try to quilt I break a needle. I have my feed dogs down, my tension as low as it can go, what am I doing wrong?
Put your foot down (no material) and turn the needle slowly by hand down to see where it is hitting and breaking..check to be sure you have it on straight stitching not zigzag and centered (I know this sounds silly, but can happen)..once you see where it is hitting you will know what is causing the problem making it easier to solve the problem. Be sure your needle has been replaced correctly. This should not be a tension problem. Pull the threads to ensure both top and bobbin threads pull freely..if not, rethread the whole thing.
